Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

The older Jonin said, "Iwagakure ninjas are skilled in Earth Release techniques and often launch surprise attacks or organize offensives from underground. The Hyuga clan's Byakugan is very effective against this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slowly: "Hmm~"

Are there any other candidates?

People began to express their opinions.

The Uchiha clan is now weak, and the only powerful clans left in Konoha are the Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, and Sarutobi clans. Because Hiruzen Sarutobi avoids suspicion and doesn't heavily rely on Sarutobi clan ninjas, the candidates proposed are mostly from the major clans and Shingetsu Seiun.

Many people preferred to have Jiraiya or Tsunade return to take charge, but Hiruzen Sarutobi said that the hope of finding the two to return and keep order was slim, and that they should choose from the ninjas present.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has not made a clear statement.

After everyone had basically stated their preferred candidates, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

"Who are the candidates supported by your three families?"

Chapter 365 Evening Glory's Farewell

Although he mentioned three families, his gaze was fixed only on Nara Shikaku.

Even Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi are the same.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio are closely connected and have always acted in unison. The head of the Nara family is the one who makes the most decisions, so the opinions of the three families are mostly expressed by the other side.

Under Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, Nara Shikaku hesitated for a moment before finally looking at Hiruzen and saying, "I support the Hyuga clan sending someone to oversee things."

Seeing the satisfied look in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, Nara Shikaku thought to himself, 'Just as I thought.'

He had already understood what the other person meant.

In fact, among the candidates recommended by everyone, he believed that the most suitable candidate was Shenyue Xingyun.

Although he is a bit young, he is excellent in combat and has no problem commanding a battlefield as the captain of the Dark Squad.

In contrast, while the Hyuga clan's Byakugan has a targeted advantage in Earth Release reconnaissance, this advantage is more relevant to patrol and reconnaissance, and is not a suitable reason for choosing someone to oversee operations.

Moreover, the Hyuga main family rarely takes risks, and the only notable figure from the Hyuga branch family is Hyuga Hizashi. While Hizashi is not weak, he is clearly not strong enough to command a region.

Unlike the legendary Sannin, Minato Namikaze, and Seiun Kamizuki, they did not possess the strength to hold the line.

But... that's clearly not what the Hokage wanted.

Even if he publicly supports Shingetsu Seiun, Hiruzen Sarutobi will certainly have a reason to refuse.

Rather than leaving the task of overseeing the Ino-Shika-Cho trio to the three families, it would be better to give the Hyuga a push.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then spoke up, "In that case, let's do as everyone says."

He looked at Hiashi Hyuga: "The task of overseeing things is entrusted to the Hyuga clan."

Hiashi Hyuga nodded and said, "I will have Hizashi lead a team to set off quickly."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then looked at Shikaku Nara: "Shikaku, you will serve as the vice commander and assist Hizashi in resisting Iwagakure."

Nara Shikaku nodded with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "No problem."

With the most important matter resolved, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly looked at Shingetsu Nebula, who was constantly 'recording' the matter.

"nebula."

Shingetsu Nebula: "Huh?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a gentle expression, "What are your thoughts?"

Shingetsu Seiun: "No, Lord Hokage is wise."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "The reason I didn't send you this time is because I'm afraid that Onoki might have some bad intentions again. He almost succeeded last time, so I'm being very careful."

"You are still young. The most important thing right now is to gain more experience and grow more."

Shenyue Xingyun nodded.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Everyone recognizes your strength. Keep it up. The future of Konoha depends on young people like you."

Shingetsu Seiun: "...Um, Hokage-sama."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "What's wrong?"

Shenyue Xingyun put away the schedule and said, "I just remembered it when you mentioned it."

"Back on the battlefield, that shameless old man Onoki disregarded martial ethics and ambushed me, a young man, and I was seriously injured."

"Actually, I haven't fully recovered yet. Lately, there have been a lot of rainy days, and my lower back keeps aching. So I'd like to take some time off to rest at home."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jonin in the arena showed various expressions.

They all sensed that Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, was acting strangely towards this newly rising young man. Now, Shingetsu Seiun's words brought this abnormality to the forefront.

One side is subtly suppressing the other, while the other is taking sick leave just before a major battle is about to begin.

The undercurrents made them all a little nervous.

As for Shenyue Xingyun's reasons, they didn't believe them. Compared to the hidden injuries from a few years ago, they were more willing to believe that this was the result of working day and night.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled.

"Okay."

"Young people should definitely pay more attention to their health and take good care of themselves at home."

Shen Yue Xingyun kept his word and took sick leave after the meeting.

For a while after that, he never stepped into the office again, so when Uzuki Yuhi wanted to work overtime, he had to come to his house to find him.

During this time, Uzuki Yugao also came to see him.

At that time, Uzuki Yugao was discussing the specific application of combined Water and Fire Release ninjutsu in actual combat with him in the study at home. They were very engrossed when Uzuki Yugao knocked on the door.

The sunset in the month of Maoyue can only swallow its frustrations.

Uzuki Yugao came to say goodbye.

The situation on the battlefield was not good. Even though Hyuga Hizashi and Nara Shikaku went to provide support, they could not gain any advantage in the face of Iwagakure's relentless pressure. Uzuki Yugao was assigned to the second wave of support troops to go to the Iwagakure battlefield.

"I'm leaving now. Will you miss me at home?" Standing in front of the desk, Uzuki Yugao looked into his eyes with deep affection and approached him step by step.

"Wait a minute," Shenyue Xingyun hurriedly stopped her.

Uzuki Yugao was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Um... I have a cold, so please don't come over."

"I'm not afraid at all." Uzuki Yugao said with a grin, and was about to come closer when Kamitsuki Seiun quickly reached out.

Ten seals in one second, the barrier is formed in an instant.

Uzuki Yugao, who was blocked by a step away, stopped laughing.

What are you doing?

Why won't you let me through?

Feeling the stinging pain, Shenyue Xingyun used immense willpower to prevent herself from showing it.

He forced himself to remain calm and said, "You're going to the battlefield soon, it's very dangerous."

"You can't catch a cold."

"Nothing else was it."

Uzuki Yugao looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

Shenyue Xingyun steadied himself on the table: "More real than real gold."

Uzuki Yugao gave a soft hum, generally satisfied with his explanation.

Suddenly, she took a sniff.

There seems to be a smell in the room.

Shingetsu Seiun's expression changed slightly, and she was about to explain something, but Uzuki Yugao, who was no longer innocent, had already come to her senses.

Her gaze widened as she looked at Shenyue Xingyun, who was sitting upright in a chair, her lips slightly parted.

"you…"

"Alright." Shingetsu Seiun interrupted Uzuki Yugao before she could finish speaking.

"We're about to go to the battlefield. Is everything ready?"

Uzuki Yugao wasn't fooled by him and was very angry.

Even though I know the other person isn't a good person, you can't do that in front of me... no, it's something I did later.

Realizing this, Uzuki Yugao's anger subsided somewhat.

Immediately, an irrepressible curiosity arose within me.

She clung to the edge of the barrier, trying to stand on tiptoe.

"Let me see."

"let me see."

She hopped around, trying to get a full view, but of course, she couldn't.
